Brief Title: A Distress Screening and Intervention in Cancer Surgery
Official Title: A Distress Screening and Intervention in Cancer Surgery
Study ID: NCT03979794
Study Description
Brief Summary: The goal of this project is to examine initial effectiveness of a brief (2 preoperative, 2 postoperative session) cognitive behaviorally-based telephone intervention compared to standard care on postoperative outcomes for patients who are scheduled to undergo a cancer-related surgery in 12 or more days and screen positive for distress (4 or higher on 0-10 Distress Thermometer). The intervention focuses on improving emotional and physical health through relaxation, behavioral activation, increased physical activity, and adherence to medication and wound care. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the intervention or to receive standard care. Outcomes assessed 4 and 6 weeks post-operatively will include: Depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-8), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7), health-related QOL (SF-36 MCS and PCS), number and type of complications, length of stay, and 30-day readmission.
